Small towns clash with Air Force over Berkshires antennas
In Hawley and Ashfield Massachusetts a dispute over a proposed 600 acre National Communications System outpost with 300 foot towers has sparked fears of environmental harm and loss of farmland. Residents formed committees, drew political support, and hire attorneys while officials consider 13 alternate sites. The Air Force will study environmental impact and broaden site searches amid pressure from senators and the governor.
